No-frills carrier SpiceJet, which is seeing a turnaround, plans to induct more women pilots and also provide greater flexibility at work for the staff. “It brings a lot of respect for the person in the cockpit. It is an extremely remunerative position to be in. We consciously try to ensure that more and more women get into the cockpit,” SpiceJet ChairmanAjay Singh on Friday said. Out of the 470 pilots in the airline, nearly 50 are women commanders and first officers. SpiceJet has a staff strength of about 5,000.
